How a pump-and-dump scheme works
A pump-and-dump scheme usually goes like this: a group of insiders plans to buy a particular stock, like a penny stock, which are riskier types of equities. The insiders then spread false or misleading information about the company to increase the demand for the stock and drive up the price.
When the stock price is high, the insiders sell their shares, pocketing profits. But as soon as insiders sell their shares, prices drop dramatically. This is when the majority of investors, who bought on the rise, are left with plummeting or even worthless shares that they may not be able to liquidate quickly.
